Yeah, I think Deion probably coached him how to behave in the interviews but Deion was top tier blue chipper and a DB. You can get away with that stuff if you are super talented DB, you're not leading the entire offense. SS is just a privileged kid who was not advised well by his father...

Right but this was a hypothetical, not saying they should just go off the reservation outside of the collective bargaining agreement. Obviously if they went to no draft the NFLPA would have agreed to doing that.

Not really, it would just change who has the leverage in negotiation. As you can see with NIL in college money talks. Teams willing to pay the most would get the best players for the most part. But OTOH it would probably be bad for the NFL because it would turn into more like soccer in Europe...

It could go really well or really bad for him fast. They have options. If he isn't it, he will be gone pretty fast.

He seems a little like a Temu Josh Allen, likes to use his legs but not as big. Likes to pass on the easy completion to try to make big plays but doesn't have Josh Allen's arm. Questionable ability to make post snap reads. But OTOH he's a competitor and you have to like that. He's pretty...

Yup, of any of the later rd picks he has the easiest road to a starting job, IMO.

Yeah, if you draft him in the first you have a significant amount of money more invested and then you have an obligation to give them a lot more rope before parting ways. You take a guy late, like you said, you don't like it you're out very little money and not much draft capital if you cut...

Exactly my point, because he had undeniable blue chip talent. That's not the case with Sanders. NFL will overlook some pretty major flaws for raw talent like that.

Yeah QB has to be number 1 but I think the starting situation is probably clear. WR is pretty interesting. Tracy is the most productive guy added to the team and seems like the favorite at this point , in my mind but not close to confident in that. I think the defense as a whole is the...

Gophers draft picks during that time: Games played: 307 Games Started: 160 Career tackles: 250 Sacks : 20.5 INT: 2 Rec: 147 TD: 15 Wisconsin: GP: 379 GS: 145 Tackles: 373 Sacks: 17.5 INT: 1 Rec: 169 TD: 10 Looks like it's pretty even. Gophers have more starts, Wisconsin more games played...

I don't think he's a bad guy. I think he's your typical entitled rich kid. Then add in to that your Dad is Deion Sanders. This kid probably thinks he walks on water because nobody has had the guts to be real with him. And Deion wants nothing more than for his son to be great so all he's ever...

I only think there were two QBs worth drafting in the first two rounds. The rest, IMO, are just being drafted because people are throwing darts hoping they hit a Russell Wilson, Brady or something along the way. I think it's an extremely low chance that more than 1-2 QB in this draft turns out...

Well Shough and Gabriel being drafted too high as well made the situation worse. These were really bad picks and only fueled the conspiracy theorists more. I think Sanders might have 2nd round talent and these two maybe 5th rd talent. Most of Sanders drop was due to how the draft process was...

That's why I said " a little surprised ". I thought he had a fair chance of sneaking in the 7th rd. But being a UDFA isn't much different than being a 7th rd pick.

Well if Diggs is gone, makes it a little easier for Jackson.

That's almost a lock, I think. I would not be surprised if he made the roster. Might be tough with Diggs, Collins, and two draft picks though. If they keep only 5 then probably not, but for sure making someone's practice squad.

I was a little surprised Jackson didn't get drafted, TBH. But Texans should be a good landing spot for him and money difference probably not that much than a late round pick.

I think what happened here is Sanders is probably really like a late 1st to 2nd prospect based on talent. He doesn't have elite arm talent or athleticism. And then you have his dad out there telling people they will refuse to sign with certain teams. And then he goes into interviews with...

I'm a 50 year old dude and have not seen this happen. Seems a little strange that they haven't had one in an entire middle aged guy's life.

There is no other valid answer than , yes, it was the right decision. Yes, not 100% his fault the program is bad, it wasn't great when he took over. NIL money to compete isn't really there in the way it needs to be either. However, I feel like college basketball is a sport where you can have a...
